How many words does your instructor want?  And when is the deadline?

If router x is learning same prefix/network from two different routing protocol it will install the one with lower administrative distance in its RIB or routing table.

example:

network - 1.2.3.0/24 learned by ospf and rib

AD for OSPF - 110

AD for RIP - 120

In this case route learned from OSPF will be installed.

Suggestion - You should have labbed it up and then ask this question otherwise information acquired like this may not stay with you for a long time.
